  Howto & Style

I don't see why you have to make sure that your opinion is right, be honest, coming to a body positive page and telling everyone overweight people are lazy. You are exactly the reason why some people can never be confident in real life because once they are slightly overweight, they will be called fat, lazy, unhealthy, etc. Tell your mom she's lazy when she gets older and becoming fat one day, keep bashing her and make sure she feels like shit. If you even have one.

I think everyone should be in good shape, regardless of body type. You can't keep bringing people that have nothing to do with this video into the discussion. This is about overweight people only. And just because there are fat people in better health than some that aren't doesn't mean the majority of them are. If it's not my business, then it's also not the business of the people who made this video, or you. Barring some sort of condition, yes, overweight people are lazy.

Being overweight is not necessarily "unhealthy", fat people could be more active than a lot of the average weight people. If they don't have any problems with their health, who are you to judge if they are healthy or not? Is that even your business? On the other hand you don't say 100% of the normal weight people are healthy. This video is not about doing something about your body, it's about telling people to accept what is real. For you to say overweight people are lazy is stupid. Period.

Being overweight is objectively bad for you. It's unhealthy. Being unattractive or stupid isn't. There's a clear difference. This video isn't directed at people who don't want to change; it's directed at people do want to do something about what they perceive to be an imperfection, trying to tell them not to live a healthier lifestyle as if health is something no one should care about.

Who's to tell you or me or anyone else if they are overweight they have to do something? Who says it's imperfection? Are you both Fat and ugly and feel imperfect? How about feeling like you are stupid and actually gain some knowledge instead of caring about superficial things like appearance? A lot of people who has a purpose in life might not look perfect but they are useful and helpful to the world. People change when THEY want to, not when you tell them so shut up.

How stupid are you? Plastic surgery is as lazy as you can get. If you're unfortunate-looking that's not something you can change through hard work. I'm talking about people who are overweight, who most certainly can change what they think is an imperfection.

[oil88]

You are butt ugly. Now go do some plastic surgery on your face otherwise you are a very lazy person.

love it!

That is a GREAT idea. :)

This must have been made by people who think "participation trophies" are a good idea. Feeling like you aren't perfect is the best path to self-improvement. If anyone feels bad, they should do something about it rather than be told "you don't have to change a thing!" because that leads to laziness.
